Poroshenko urged to seal the border with Russia

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko called a way to stabilize the situation in the East of the country. His statement published on the official website of the President.

“I believe that the only way to change the situation is to seal the uncontrolled part of the Russian-Ukrainian border with the aggressor state and to ensure the implementation of the Minsk agreements”, — he said. The President added that in all the controlled self-proclaimed republics in territory, including the border with Russia, you should see the UN peacekeeping force.

Earlier, on 9 July, Poroshenko said that “Russia is waging war against the whole world to impose their “Russian world””. In his opinion, the best response to Moscow’s policy will become the strategic partnership between Ukraine and Poland.

Relations between Kyiv and Moscow deteriorated sharply after the reunification of the Crimea with Russia in March 2014 and the beginning of the conflict in the Donbass in April of the same year. Ukraine accuses Moscow regularly in the conduct of hostilities in the South-East of its territory and calls the aggressor, the Kremlin rejects these accusations.
